Lydia Ko won the Evian Championship on Sunday to become the youngest major champion in LPGA Tour history.

The South Korean-born New Zealander closed with an 8-under 63 for a six-stroke victory over Lexi Thompson at the final major of the season in Evian-les-Bains, France.

“To say that I”m the youngest in history for now, it”s so cool,” Ko said. “To finish with two birdies, finish on the last 72nd hole, with a birdie, it doesn”t happen often, so it”s definitely one of the top rounds of my whole entire life, and I”m sure it will be in my career.”

Ko is 18 years, 4 months, 20 days. She broke the record set by American Morgan Pressel at 18 years, 10 months, 9 days in the 2007 Kraft Nabisco Championship.

Ko finished at 16-under 268 for her fourth win of the year and ninth on the tour. Thompson shot a 70.

“It”s kind of hard to beat somebody that shoots 63,” said Thompson. “She played amazing. She deserves it. She ball-struck the heck out of this golf course and putted it really well. You can”t get much better than that.”

China”s Shanshan Feng was third at 8 under after a 70. South Korea”s Mi Hyang Lee, the third-round leader, finished with a 74 to drop into a tie for fourth with compatriot Ilhee Lee (70) at 7 under.

Ko turned professional two years ago.

“Everyone won”t be asking me when I”ll win my first major because it”s done,” said Ko, who was two shots off the pace heading into the final round.
